Lindsay Lohan was taken into custody yet again after Judge Stephanie Sautner on Wednesday revoked probation, pending a hearing, in her 2007 DUI and 2011 theft cases. Sautner, who set bail at $50,000 in each case for a total of $100,000, pointed out that Lohan's own actions had left her in a position where it was impossible for the actress to complete her sentence. Though attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told the judge that the bail bondsman was in the courtroom -- after a hearing date was set and probation was revoked -- Lohan couldn't avoid the cuffs. On a live camera feed from the courthouse, she was seen being taken off by deputies to be processed, hands behind her back, white dress flowing around her.
Lindsay is about four years into attempting to complete probation requirements related to two DUI charges, a reckless driving charge and a diversion program in lieu of a cocaine possession charge. In May, she picked up a misdemeanor theft charge that earned her additional probation in lieu of a jail sentence, which was suspended.
Earlier this year Lohan was sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating the first probation, and served 35 days under house arrest. On Wednesday, Sautner said she didn't know if a jail sentence on a misdemeanor would result in any actual time served, as the county jails would be full of felons following a change in California law.
"How many stumbles have there been on the Beverly Hills case?" the judge asked Holley after the attorney argued that people usually aren't perfect at serving probation. Added Sautner: "Her probation would have been over last year, had she done what was expected of her."
